“A nearly perfect forage crop” are the words used by the United 
States Department of Agriculture in describing Alfalfa, at the came 
time stating that a great portion of the Alfalfa of the country is 
utilized as hay and only 30 to 40 days of good growing weather are 
usually required to produce sufficient growth for a hay crop. 
Your soil should be clean and well prepared, but firm. Cover the 
seed about one inch deep with harrow. Firming the land by use of 
a roller after planting will help you to get a good stand, as well 
as a more uniform growth. 
Many successful Alfalfa growers make it a habit to run a harrow 
over their fields in crisscross fashion after cutting. This helps to keep 
down the weeds and encourages a more rapid growth. This method 
will not hurt the roots of your plants. Alfalfa can be cut at any 
time from start of bloom stage to the time the plants are in full bloom. 
If cut in the earlier stages the hay is slightly richer in protein, but 
later cutting seems to help the long life of your field, as well as 
making a slightly heavier yield. 
The seed should bo sown broadcast at the rate of 20 pounds to the 
acre in September, October and November. Can also be planted in 
February, March and April. 
By all means, inoculate your seed before planting with NITRAGIN. 
We strongly recommend the use of a Seed Sower when planting, co 
as to get an even and uniform stand.

NICHOLSON'S CLOVER SEED 
Inoculate Seed with Nitragin 
It must be made emphatic that all clovers far outclass the non¬ 
legume crops for building the soil. The qualities making clovers use¬ 
ful in this respect are their extensive root system and their power 
to gather nitrogen from the air. Experiments show that 30 to 60 
per cent of the fertilizing value of a clover crop is in the roots and 
stubble, which adds nitrogen and humus to the soil. A good crop of 
clover will add to the soil in a single season 200 pounds of nitrogen 
to the acre. 
All clovers have exceptionally high value as feed, containing more 
protein than gz-asses. Protein is needed to build up muscle and beef, 
for full development of growing stock and to increase the yield of 
milk in milch cattle. 
It is of the utmost importance that clover seed be treated with 
NITRAGIN before sowing. For prices, see page 59. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER. Grows 
better on moist land than other varieties of 
Clovers and is suitable for either hay or 
pasture. When sown with other grasses 
it forms a thick undergrowth and greatly 
increases the yield. If sown by itself, plant 
10 to 15 pounds per acre. It is best, how¬ 
ever, to sow with other grasses and Clovers 
and in this case, plant about 2 pounds per 
acre. Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c, postpaid. Not pre¬ 
paid, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. Ask for prices 
on larger quantities. 
CRIMSON CLOVER (TYifolium Incarna- 
tum). An annual winter growing legume. 
Sow in August, September and October. Sow 
20 pounds to the acre. Adapted to sandy, 
loamy and even clay soils. Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 
65c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 25c; 10 lbs., 
$2.00. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
BLACK MEDIC (Medicago Lupulina). 
Black Medic is also known in some sections 
as Yellow Trefoil. 
It re-seeds itself freely and yields a very 
nutritious pasturage. Black Medic has proven 
to be one! of the most valuable additions to 
Bermuda pastures on lime soils and is cer¬ 
tainly worthy of extensive trial on all types 
of soil. 
The usual rate of seeding is 15 pounds to 
the acre. Sow the seed in September, Octo¬ 
ber or the first half of November, also in 
February and March. Planted on established 
pastures or in mixtures with other grasses 
and clovers, two or three pounds to the acre 
are sufficient. Will re-seed itself even under 
rather close grazing. Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.25. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
IMPORTED HOP CLOVER (Trifolium du- 
bium or minus). Also called English Red 
Suckling Clover, but bears a small, yellow 
bloom. Best results come from fall sowing 
in the South. Grows 12 to 15 inches high. 
Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.25. Please ask for prices 
in larger quantities. 
HUBAM CLOVER (Melilotus Annua). This 
is annual White Flowering Sweet Clover. A 
most rapid grower that will even crowd out 
weeds, if planted broadcast. Excellent for 
pasture ar hay, also does well when planted 
with oats or other small grains. Very similar 
in food value and chemical analysis to the 
biennial White Flowering Sweet Clover. 
Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00. Please ask for prices
